Well, I mean, he’s going to fucking try. That alone is more than I can assume of just about any of the other candidates and stands as one of Sanders’ most compelling virtues.  He’s going to try.  

I am probably more of a Bernie fan than you, but I agree about his supporters. Anyone reading this who likes to just....I dunno, attack anyone who is not with you: do not underestimate the power of emotion when people vote. And if you are the one making people feel terrible, ask yourself whether you’re helping get…

I’m in my mid-30s, and this campaign is the very first political campaign I’m volunteering for. There are a lot of Sanders’ policy positions I like, but at the end of it all I think I chose to join up because I have a good job, good healthcare, and a life generally free from anxiety and precariousness and it’d just be…

Seriously - I am sick of hearing that we need to court those in the middle/who might vote for Trump. You could estimate like 30% of the base is further left than the Democratic Party. Can you not fucking pander to us at all? Why do they tell us to fuck off and tell Republicans to come on in?

Bernie Sanders doesn’t necessarily represent hope for brown people in white society. But in a world where we’re erased, incarcerated, searched, exoticized, criminalized, bombed, condescended to, thrown in cages, and dying early - we’re looking for a little relief.

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as…

Yah it would be apathy for sure. And expatriation. Lots of young people I know are already pretty apathetic and this would push them right over the edge.

To apathy. To more attractive third party candidates that actually excite them. Who cares that you don’t see a viable electoral alternative for them? The Democratic Party should do that thing where they *put in the effort* to exciting passion in Democratic-leaning voters so Democratic-leaning voters not only vote for…

I am right here with you ❤️❤️❤️

I’m not sure they GO anywhere. They simply disengage. And I totally get it. 

they will lose these people.

It feels wild to have some hope but here I am, tearing up and having hope. The idea of everyone in my family being insured, the disability rights plan...fuck I did not want to be this invested because the disappointment is so soul crushing.

Her policies aren’t as good, she doesn’t have a strong history w/anti-war or movement politics, and she’s a vocal capitalist. That’s pretty much it for me, at least. I also think suggesting she has “basically no downsides” is a somewhat...rosy view of things. 

Some people are really confused because they don’t understand that you can say both “I will vote Democratic in November because I want to defeat Trump” and “I reserve the right to vote for whoever I want in the primaries” without it being a contradiction.

It really is something to see a bunch of establishment, third way Democrats, who have overseen some pretty stunning losses of power and influence, panic because a couple of viable candidates are *gasp* reviving a brand of New Deal populism that saw Democrats wield at least some significant amount of power in one form…

No I really don’t see how they’re incongruous thoughts.

30 years old, and she’s one of the most mature people in Washington.

It sounds like Clinton is only concerned with party unity when party unity benefits her. Because, while I think both Clinton and Sanders have things they could legitimately be upset about from 2016, only Clinton is refusing to move the fuck on. The reality is, Sanders is running in second place and is the second…

Some of us brown men who support Bernie don’t like posting selfies with hashtags.  If you want to see my portrait, it’s in the attic.

When I learned about the hashtag #HotGirlsForBernie/#HotBoysForBernie just now my knee-jerk reaction was, “cringe, I hate it.” I was afraid it would be the lefty version of bottle blondes holding semi-automatic weapons and wearing American flag bathing suits with MAGA caps, but then I perused this phenomenon for…
